The video tutorial explores different sets of numbers, starting with natural numbers and progressing to integers and rational numbers. It then introduces irrational numbers, explaining their properties and how they differ from rational numbers. The concept of perfect squares is discussed, followed by methods to determine if a number is rational or irrational. Finally, the video covers techniques for simplifying radicals using the product rule.
